2007.07.14 - Albany, NY, USA @ Times Forum Union
Source A: JVC Unspecified Camera
Taper: Dawson
Notes: This recording has some positives such as a few decent close-ups. However, it is plagued by subpar location, poor audio quality and numerous cuts to the songs. The time itself tells us this is incomplete. Filmed from a distance this is of course better than nothing however this would be best left for collectors.

Source B: Solid State Recording - Edirol R-09 (built in mics)
Taper: dassarri
Notes: This recording is incomplete as it begins @ Lost Keys. It would be helpful to have the story (there is always a story with Tool tapers) about the rationale and events that led up to the incomplete recording. It could be simple taper error, gear issue, a girlfriend issue or the taper had to finish up his job as a CIA operative before making it to the show. As it is, this is a decent capture for the microphone/recorder used. There is only so much one can say about Edirol R09, I still have my old one and occasionally use it, but it is not a solid AUD recording option whereas the more recent Sony A10’s are fantastic. This recording is decent though. A bit distant but maybe I’m being overly critical.
